The Portland Growers Alliance is a new social enterprise helping beginning farmers market and distribute produce. We are a Project (NAAP) and collaborative effort between Mercy Corps Northwest’s New American Agriculture and Grow Portland, a new grassroots urban agriculture organization.
Our goals and values:
•Build the local food economy
•Promote ecological growing practices
•Utilize vacant urban land for productive use
•Harness the skills and potential of refugees and
beginning farmers
The Growers Alliance is currently featuring the produce of refugee farmers supported by Mercy Corps Northwest. We use organic practices and no sprays or synthetic chemicals. Look for our community supported agriculture (CSA) program later this summer. Starting August 23rd, pick up a box of fresh produce every Monday afternoon from Mercy Corps Northwest’s office in Old Town.
